Note: <888> 11/13/05 Sunday 11:05 A.M.: More money for communications while we live a colder life on planet earth BBC NEWS Science/Nature Technical hitch delays Ariane 5 . CIO Note: <888> 11/13/05 Sunday 11:00 A.M.: I chatted with a relative. Another relative is traveling today, and another relative will be traveling tomorrow. CIO Note: <888> 11/13/05 Sunday 9:55 A.M.: It seems late in the hurricane season, but this satellite image has a familiar cloud formation north of South America NRL Monterey Tropical Images. CIO Note: <888> 11/13/05 Sunday 9:45 A.M.: I woke up at 6:30 A.M.. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I sorted out the old mail pile on the folding oak table next to my desk, and I put each group of old bills and other mailings in different piles, and I wrapped each pile with a rubber band. I left the sorted mail on the side table. I threw out a lot of the mail that I do not need to keep. I sorted out the periodical literature on the small bookcase inside the bathroom at its entrance, and I stacked the periodicals upright with each end of the row supported by two metal book ends. It is much easier to access the periodical literature, and when it is stacked upright, it will not fall over such as a stack of periodical literature will do when it is stacked flat. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 11:30 P.M.: I read the AT&T 952 manual. I left it beside the AT&T 952 telephone on the brass and glass coffee table. Well, I am a bit tired, and I need my rest. I will now shut town the Electronic Chinese Abacus The Abacus: Introduction . In my youth somewhere in the south land, I learned how to use an abacus, and I once bought one for $2 in the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop about 12 years ago, and it now hangs above my living room closets below the old ox yoke. When one has explored the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop constantly while in Greenwich, since about 1973 when my family returned back to Greenwich after I graduated from college at www.lfc.edu where one of my roommate's mother managed the Lake Forest, Illinois thrift shop. Maybe somebody should ask a Greenwich Hospital thrift shop employee if they need their stone wall behind the building repaired. If one has never seen the stone wall behind the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, it is one of the historical oddities of the town of Greenwich, Connecticut that I do not know anything about. It looks like they were planning to build a great pyramid or something judging by the size of the blocks of stone. It sure has stood the test of time, but whatever was the purpose of such a formidable wall in field stone Connecticut. The stone blocks are about five long and two feet high and look to be about two feet deep with curved edges or irregular masonry of a brownish sandstone type of material. Of course in the old days, wages were cheap, and with my luck since I earn little enough as it is, they will probably next try to get me to finish off the job on that stone wall behind the Greenwich Hospital Thrift Shop. It looks like it might have been the foundation blocks of a larger building, but if so only one side is exposed. I think it runs at least 100 feet and is about 15 feet high, however I have never been able to get a close enough look at it since the rear wall of the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop blocks most of what one can see. Yes, it is the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop on Sherwood Place across from the telephone company which is slightly south of there. Thus I say good night, and I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 11:00 P.M.: I found the AT&T Model Number 952 manual at http://telephones.att.com/docMgt/public/art/302/952.pdf linked from AT&T Manual List . The now sell this newer version of the same phone with caller ID Cordless Phones - ATT online telephone store. Product information: AT&T 972_2_Line . I printed out the manual. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 10:50 P.M.: I ate the last three scoops of Edy's Caramel and Praline Crunch low fat frozen yogurt. I chatted with a relative. The relative suggested that I watch a crime story program on C.B.S. at 10 P.M.. I watched the first half hour, and it showed a bit of Decatur, Alabama, where I lived as a youth. From what I heard, and from what I know about crime in New York, it said they were suppose to see "The Sound of Music" that night. Possibly if it were a traveling theatre group, there could be a serial killer in the traveling musical show. Of course first guesses based on little information are usually wrong. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 9:30 P.M.: I chatted with two relatives. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 7:50 P.M.: I checked the telephone, and it is a AT&T Model Number 952 available here AT&T 952 992 DISCONTINUED 972 . Such a deal for $3.75. It was in the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop for the last two weeks and nobody else wanted it. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 7:25 P.M.: I went out after the last message. I went by the Greenwich Automotive Exxon Service station next to the Greenwich Library, and I bought $6.25 of premium unleaded gasoline at $2.759 a gallon for 36.3 miles driving this week at 14.6 miles per gallon at 12 miles per hour average driving speed. I then went by the Greenwich Hospital Thrift shop, and their remaining merchandise continues to be 50% off. Starting next Wednesday, they are going to put out their new display of merchandise, and I guess their holiday display. I bought an AT&T like new two line telephone with 30 speed dial buttons and speaker phone in black for $3.75. I then went downtown, and I walked the entire length of Greenwich Avenue and the train station area. I sat out at various locations. I stopped by the 75% off rack at the Greenwich Hardware store. I stopped by CVS, and I bought a 7 ounce package of black licorice for $1.19 and a two tube package of CVS Super Glue Gel for $1.97 plus .19 tax for $3.35 total. I chatted with an employee of the Swedish bed shop on the east side of upper Greenwich Avenue. I can not remember their name at the moment. I completed my walk. I then drove down by the waterfront. I then went by the Greenwich Library, and I briefed the staff. I then returned home. I installed the two line AT&T telephone at the near end side center of the brass and glass coffee table. It came with one telephone cable, and I use my last one, and I connected it with splitters to other splitters at the splitter junction underneath the telephone chair at the apartment entrance. I used one of the Tree of Life place mats to cover the wires on the carpet that run underneath the sofa to the junction, and I put another one on top of the cable modem LAN cable that runs from the other side of the coffee table. I used rubber bands to keep one of the old splitters from separating. I also used a rubber band to tie the telephone wires to the coffee table leg, so they do not move around. It works quite fine. Line 1 is Optimum Voice and Line 2 is Verizon. I put in 4 Duracell AA alkaline batteries in it for the telephone line lights. It seems to keep its memory dial functions without the batteries. I programmed 26 of the 30 speed dial button numbers. There are actually 15 speed dial buttons with a "lower" button for selecting the other 15 speed dial numbers. I set the volume at about medium. I filled in the speed dial button information names on the card form display, and there is a spare form underneath the one that I filled in. The telephone also has a data jack that when I get a short telephone cable, I can use it to connect it to the Toshiba laptop nearby for backup telephone access. I chatted with a relative and a friend. I will put the CVS Super Glue Gel in the top left drawer of the mahogany bureau in the bedroom with the used package. Usually once one opens the small tubes, they dry out very fast. Picture link http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/brass-and-glass-coffee-table-with-att-2-line-telephone-111205.JPG . CIO End of Scott's Notes week of 11/12/05: Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 10:10 A.M.: I toasted two slices of Arnold multigrain bread, and I spread them with Hellmann's mayonnaise and Hellmann's reduced fat mayonnaise, and I put on three full 1/32nds inch thick slices of turkey, 5 five inch by nine inch folded 1/32nds inch thick slices of Stop and Shop Swiss cheese, four 3/32nds inch thick slices of onion, about a half dozen small spinach leaves and pepper and sea salt and the top slices of bread, and I cut it in half across. I ate the sandwich with a glass of iced tea. I slid out the dining table oak table divider leaf that supports the Northgate Syntax backup computer monitors about a half inch to the right, and I move the Minolta laser printer to the right about a half inch, so there is now about 1.5 inches on its left side open, so one can turn it on more easily. I will now send out my weekly notes. I went through my email earlier. After I send out my notes, I will shut down the computer, and I will clean up and go out.

CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 8:35 A.M.: I took the broken Epson C80 printer from the left side of the bedroom desk, and I put it on top of the large Long Island light bulb in the bedroom window. I moved the Visioneer 4400 scanner from the left side of the bedroom desk, and I put it underneath the bedroom side board. I moved the Colorado Tape backup to underneath the bedroom side board. I have a black plastic storage box underneath the right side of the bedroom desk, and I have lots of spare cables in that box along with the ones in the false ceiling above the bed in the bedroom. I put the Priority Mail mailing material on top of that black plastic box underneath the right side of the bedroom desk. I have the HP LaserJet 4L on the right side of the bedroom desk, and I put the HP LaserJet 6P on top of that with the Epson Stylus 900 printer on top of that. The HP LaserJet 6P and the Epson Stylus 900 printers are connected up to the bedroom backup Dell L1000R computer, and I turn them on from the control panel underneath its monitor. I took the paper work off the box on the chair to the left of the desk, and I moved it on to the small folding oak table to the right of the desk. I took the cooking appliance instructions out of that box, and I moved them on the center shelf in the left hallway bookcase with the other instructions that I have saved. I moved the small mahogany display box from the right side of the bedroom desk to besides the French antique reproduction sitting chair in the living room with the two line telephone at that location sitting on it. I have my Swiss Army knives in that display box. I organized the desk items on the right side of the bedroom desk, so it looks neater. I took a dish washing wan replacement sponge from that same box, and I replaced the one at my kitchen sink. I installed the paper tray that I fixed on the Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W laser printer, and I put a new scouring sponge underneath it to provide additional support for the paper tray. I put the monitor cleaning sponge from that location in a plastic ziplock bag, and I put it to the left side of the left monitor on the Northgate Syntax backup computer. Thus the Minolta Laser Printer paper feed tray is fixed, and the bedroom desk area is much neater. I will go through the paperwork on the side table at that location sometime in the future. I put the Priority Mail shipping labels in the right desk drawer. One can now get at the right desk drawer, and without the DeLonghi oil filled radiators at that location, one can easily move the folding oak side table to access the far side night stand drawers and the desk drawers, and without the printers there, the surface area of the night stand at the far side of the bed is opened with telephone and Dictaphone available. Here are some photographs http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/mike-scott-apartment-living-room-delonghi-oil-filled-radiators-installed-111205.JPG http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/mike-scott-bedroom-desk-computer-work-area-111205.JPG http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/minolta-qms-pagepro-1250w-laser-printer-paper-feed-tray-repaired-with-plastic-splints-and-super-glue-gell-111205.JPG http://www.geocities.com/mike2scott20061/minolta-qms-pagepro-1250w-laser-printer-paper-feed-tray-repaired-with-plastic-splints-and-super-glue-gell-with-sponge-supporting-tray-111205.JPG . CIO
Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 6:40 A.M.: I removed the paper feed tray from the Minolta QMS Pagepro 1250W laser printer, and I took it and its broken part into the kitchen. I had a spare tube of CVS Super Glue Gel. I took four white bread closure tabs, and I cut off their two fork ends, so I had four plastic pieces about .5 inch by 1 inch. I propped up the paper tray so it was facing up wards with broken end up. I clued the broken piece onto its broken end, and I glued one of the broken plastic pieces on either side as a splint. I glued the other two plastic pieces on the other side where it might break at the same location. I used a wooden tooth pick to remove excess glue. I am now letting it dry for an hour to let it dry thoroughly. However, I now have the CVS Super Glue Gel dried on the end of some of my finger tips, and lighter fluid does not remove it. I do not have nail polish remover. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 6:05 A.M.: On my Minolta QMS PagePro 1250W laser printer, about a half a year ago, the paper feed tray support arm broke on the right side, so I have it supported with my monitor cleaning sponge. I search it out at http://www.dttservice.com/printers/minoltaqmsprinterparts.html#pagepro1250 , and I got part number "8314127-1108-02" and by searching that part number at http://www.nationalparts.com/extranet/index.asp?PAGE=quicksearch it comes up for sale at $6.77 with a minimum order of $10 from www.nationalparts.com and $8.95 UPS shipping. I originally bought the printer for $150 and received a $60 mailin rebate, so it cost me about $93, and I put in a remanufactured 6,000 sheet cartridge for $73 which has hardly been used. I can not afford to order it the replacement sheet feeder part at the moment. However, I still have the broken part, and I might be able to fix it with crazy clue if I have some. According to www.nationalparts.com my old HP LaserJet 4L and HP LaserJet 6P are worth more than I thought http://www.nationalparts.com/hprefurbprtrs.htm . CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 4:40 A.M.: Of course the good news is that I only drove about 3,000 miles locally this past year, so my Volvo station wagon still has the same Yokohama tires on it with about a quarter of an inch tread, and a Lincoln penny's head still goes below the surface of the tire into the tread. However to be on the safe side, I do not drive on snowy days, and I wait until the roads are plowed which is usually soon, since I live right by U.S. 1 which is plowed first, and it is only a mile to the downtown area. Although the air conditioner in the Volvo quit working late this summer and probably needs to be recharged with Freon this spring, the heater in it works just fine. However, the left windshield wiper blade does not clear the entire window on the left side, so possibly they need to be replaced, but the rubber part looks just fine, so maybe they just need some sort of alignment. Since my personal computer skills at a volunteer level are not considered important for any extra funding from the government, I do not get any extra money for my computer activity, and I still have the computer expenses of about $74 a month on average while still maintaining my overall living environment. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 4:20 A.M.: Basically over the years, I have not been able to afford that much electricity to keep warm in the winter, so I have gotten use to the colder temperatures in my apartment. Thus on the cold winter days, my apartment is more like the Ice Hotel in Sweden , so for now we will keep the Swedish flag flying with the British Union Jack on the hallway bookcases. We have the permutations and combinations of either two larger 6 foot by 4 foot British Union Jack or United States of America Old Glory flags along side the three five foot by three foot Swedish, Dutch, and Saudi Arabia flags. Of course I have all of the smaller flags still displayed around the apartment, and they are mostly from northern countries. However, I do have a pen holder with the Brazilian flag on it, and I do have a paper weight with the Confederate flag on it. Thus besides the Saudi Arabian flag, the most southern flag I have along with those is the Swiss flag. Of course the United States of America does go further south than Switzerland, but all of those people in the southern part of the United States of America whose motto is "Dry Fast, Freeze a Yankee", seem to consume a lot of the energy that we can not afford to use up north. If one ever goes up to Toronto, Canada, there is so much spare energy from Niagara Falls that the entire city is lit up at night like an airport. However, not much of the energy from Canada seems to ever arrive down south in the United States cheaply, and once it makes it way into the New York City metropolitan area, there is not much left to go around. Of course when President Bush goes to China this week, he will find out the way the Chinese stay warm is to wear goose feather down quilted clothes, and they sleep on top of ceramic beds with slow burning fires inside of them along side of each other to stay warm. I saw this in a Pearl Buck movie. Pearl Buck has a residence or museum in Stratton, Vermont. Thus warmer Chinese areas are not necessarily smoke free if you want to stay warm. CIO Note: <888> 11/12/05 Saturday 3:50 A.M.: I was awake at 9 P.M.. I chatted with two relatives. I checked my mail, and I remembered on Veterans Day, there is no delivery because it is a holiday. I ate breakfast of oatmeal with cinnamon, milk, and a sliced banana, a toasted bagel with olive oil, vitamins, supplements, a 75% mixture of cold orange juice with a 25% mixture of cold filtered water, and a cup of coffee with a package of Splenda and a little bit of milk in the coffee. I went back to bed. I woke up at 2 A.M.. I programmed the JVC VCR remote control in the bedroom. I have both the JVC and the RCA remote controls by the night stand in the bedroom. With the JVC remote control, one can press the TV and then Power buttons to turn on the Proscan television. On can then press the TV/VCR button, and it selects the JVC VCR to control the Proscan television which should be on channel 3. Thus with the JVC VCR remote control, one can go up and down the channels that are received with the channel up and down buttons without having to select each channel which is the case with the RCA remote control. Since the JVC VCR is newer than the 12 year old Proscan television, the JVC VCR receives the Digital Cablevision signal which it works with. Thus one can have couch potato comfort watching the television in the bedroom. However, the bedroom television setup does not get as many channels as the digital cablevision television system in the living room. I then moved the two printers off the DeLonghi oil filled radiators that I had stored in the bedroom, and I moved the two DeLonghi oil filled radiators into the living room. I put one at the living room sitting area entrance along side the wood and purple fabric sitting chair, so there is still plenty of room to enter the sitting area. I moved the pair of small brass and glass end tables at the far end of the brass and glass coffee table, so they are nearer to the down sofa. I then put the other DeLonghi oil filled radiator at the far end of the brass and glass coffee table on the window green sofa side along side the small brass and glass end tables. There is enough room to access the chair at that end beneath the stereo system. I have them both connected to heavy duty power cords. I do not turn them on except on very cold days, since they use more electricity for the heat provided compared to the apartment electric radiators. I have not turned the heat on in the apartment, and it is still 71.5 degrees Fahrenheit in the apartment, but I can begin to feel a bit of cooler draft from the colder outside temperatures. I took one of the oak folding tables from the far end of the brass and glass coffee table, and I put it in between the bedroom desk and the bed, and I put the two printers that are connected to the bedroom computer back on the folding oak table. I made my bed, and I washed the breakfast dishes. Although I actually do enjoy watching a bit of television, I have found over the years, I get more done, when I try to think of various chores to do and maintenance activities instead of just watching the television. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 2:30 P.M.: I checked the mail a couple of times. I watched some television. I will now shut down the computer, and I will go to bed soon. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 1:35 P.M.: One of my neighbors needs a new shopping cart, and they are available on the internet Folding Carts, Grocery Carts, Shopping Carts, Rolling Carts And Collapsible Carts , Aluminum Shopping Cart , Black Folding Shopping Cart , Folding Carts - Complete Business Systems , Amazon.com: Grocery Cart - Collapsible Shopping Cart - (White): Home & Garden , and one with seat AmeriMark - Shopping Cart With Seat . I bought mine from the 75% off rack at the Greenwich Hardware store about $20, so it normally would be about $80 there. Of course for everyday walkers in a commercial environment, a backpack can be just as handy for light loads. However, a folding shopping cart is useful for apartment dwellers to transport grocery items from their cars to their apartments. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 1:00 P.M.: I went outside briefly. It is getting cooler outside during the daytime Greenwich, Connecticut (06830) Forecast : Weather Underground . My weather station says it is 50.4 degrees Fahrenheit at 38% humidity, whereas the internet weather, which it from White Plains, New York which is away from Long Island Sound and thus cooler is 43 degrees Fahrenheit 42% humidity. Of course, my weather station might be warmer, since it is next to my apartment window outside. It is hard to tell, but maybe the building loses a bit of heat. There is a weather station at Old Greenwich, Connecticut at Tod's Point, and it says there it is 43 degrees Fahrenheit and 42% humidity Old Greenwich, Connecticut (06870) Forecast : Weather Underground . Of course this time of day, my apartment window outside might be out of the wind and exposed to more sunlight. The homeless crowd in Key West, Florida seems to be more upscale anymore Live Duval Street Web Cam in Key West, Florida :: Sloppy Joe's Bar :: . Key West, Florida (33040) Forecast : Weather Underground . Of course I do not know Spanish, and when I was there in the 1970s not many people spoke English, but I got along fine speaking broken French. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 12:20 P.M.: I went through my email. CIO Note: <888> 11/11/05 Friday 12:15 P.M.: My order from www.designerlinensoutlet.com , that I bought two Full Size Fitted Angelica Fitted Sheets for $9.99 each DesignerLinensOutlet.com - Angelica Fitted Sheet for $19.98 less the New Customer Coupon "NEWTENOFF" for 10% off for $2 off plus $4.95 UPS ground shipping for $22.93 total has shipped and tracking is available at UPS Package Tracking DesignerLinensOutlet.com sheet order for Mike Scott .
